IMPROVEMENT IN PlTCHER-HOLDERS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No, l32,0, dated November5, 1872.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, BENJAMIN T. CURRIER, ofBoston, in the county of Suffolk and State of Massachusetts, haveinvented certain Improvements in Ice-Pitcher Holders, of whichv thefollowing is a specification:

The object of this invention is to provide a cheap, safe, and convenientmeans for holding ice or water pitchers and catching the water whichdrips from the outside of the same when in use either from condensationor when being poured out and it consists of a deep plate or holder,which is provided with a series of projections around the interior ofthe same. The bottom of the water-pitcher rests upon these projectionsand allows the dripping water from the outside of the pitcher to fallbetween them and allow the bottom of the pitcher to become I upsettingwhen the pitcher is tipped upon its edge in pouring out water. B B B areprojections arranged around the interior of the holder A and projectinginwardly from the sides thereof, leaving a free space in the center forcontaining the water. These projections rise about one-half the heightof the sides, and may be of any size or form desired, and sufiicient innumber for the bottom of a pitcher to rest upon, the whole to beconstructed of porcelain or similar material, and may be decorated andglazed so as to match the crockery or chinaware with which they are tobe used; or, if desirable, they may be constructed of any suitablemetal.

What I claim as my invention is-- As a new article of manufacture, aporcelain or metal ice-pitcher holder, A, constructed with projections BB B, or their equivalents, when arranged substantially in the mannerdescribed, as and for the purposes set forth.
